Gleaming Geardrake, Clockwork Sleuth in Flight

Gleaming Geardrake is an artifact creature that plays cleanly into sacrifice and token strategies. The drake arrives with flying and immediately rewards you by investigating when it enters the battlefield. That investigate token can fuel a sacrifice outlet or be cashed in for cards, making this one a tidy engine piece in artifact heavy blue red decks or in any build that wants incremental advantage and air presence.

Beyond the numbers the art and theme fit Murders at Karlov Manor. The drake looks like surveillance given form and it scales with your artifacts. Whenever you sacrifice an artifact you get to put a +1/+1 counter on Gleaming Geardrake allowing a modest but steady clock. It is straightforward to pilot and finds work in control shells that keep a hand of answers while turning small sacrifices into a growing threat and extra card options.
